October 11 is National Coming Out Day. 33 years after this holiday began, LGBT individuals still face discrimination and hate for simply wanting to exist openly as they are. The OMSA Spectrum Resource Center will be holding an event on October 8 over the noon hour outside of Ham-Wil in front of the fountain to celebrate our fellow LGBT students. Please join us (12-1 p.m.), even just for a minute, in applauding the valor of students who come out to us today. We will have flags, identity buttons and other free items for students who choose to participate (and all other people can take one at the end of the event). We’re still here, and we’re still queer, get used to it!
